Deceitful Heart

The Bible says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"(Jer 17:9). If this is the case then what hope do we have of ever making the right decision.

I have had a miraculous time of hearing God the last few months. He speaks to me from His word. He speaks to me through others. He speaks to me through random thoughts that come through my head.

Yet, tonight I am filled with trepidation as I face more decisions for the future of my children. I have proven that I cannot trust my heart when it comes to making decisions in my life. So, who do I trust? Do I take a random poll of the friends in my life and the majority wins? Will it be the majority that will have to live with the consequences of that decision?

I search for peace and find none. I truly want to be able to reach a decision and find myself having acceptance with joy over my decision. Yet, the only thing I feel is as if I am the sacrificial lamb. Help me find my way, Father. I know you are able to restore my life. Redeem my life. Give me the direction that I seek tonight.
